I'm reviving this thread in case any of the newer ClassicSeacraft owners in Florida don't know about the antique vessel option. I renewed the registration on my 25 Seafari today and it cost me $6.25.
If your boat is at least 30 years old and has the "same type" engine as original, you qualify. The DMV has defined "same type" as an engine of the same vintage, but that's not what the statute says. The statute for antique motor vehicles stipulates a motor at least 30 years old, but the antique vessel statute does not. To me that means that my 25, which is an I/O as original, but with a modern MPI engine, qualifies. The local tag agency took my word for it on the application.
